A Critical Participatory Action Research Project: Improving Teaching Practices Through Professional Development in Culturally Responsive Pedagogy

Researcher: Jessica Madiratta
Date: November 6, 2024
Time: 7:00 to 8:30pm

This project reflects a critical participatory action research project that provided educators with the opportunity to participate in an online professional development group. This group explored culturally responsive pedagogy.

The two overarching research questions for the study were:

• What are the experiences of participants in an online professional development group on culturally responsive pedagogy?
• How do participants perceive their engagement in this group in terms of influencing their teaching practice?

The research aims to explore how building a community of educators engaged in professional development over multiple sessions can impact the teacher’s practice in the classroom. This study is significant because educators in Saskatchewan will benefit from having professional development in culturally responsive pedagogy and build a network of colleagues through an online setting.
